Jonas,
Do you know where in Lithuania they were from? Where are you living now? I'm in Columbus, GA.
My grandfather Joseph Baranauskas was born in 1890. His oldest brother, Peter, was born about 1880. The family came from Alztus, Lithuania to the Scranton, PA about 1902. Their father was Jonas Baranauskas (died in Rochester, NY in 1925) and mother was Mary Antanina Karalius who died in Rochester in 1930. When my grandfather was naturalized the name was officially changed to Brown. That was in 1918 the same year my dad was born. The family ended up in Rochester except Peter who moved to Detroit.
